Teeth names are created by a combination of 4 different characteristics: 1  The jaw where they are located: upper and lower (alternatively the terms maxillary and mandibular can be used) 2  The side of the face: left and right.  The type of tooth: incisor, canine, premolar, and molar.
Vampire bats are members of the New World Leaf-nosed bats, the Phyllostomidae. All three species of living vampire bats occur in South and Central America. Fossils of three other species reveal that several thousand years ago vampire bats were more widespread.
Diet. 70% of bats consume insects, sharing a large part of natural pest control. There are also fruit-eating bats; nectar-eating bats; carnivorous bats that prey on small mammals, birds, lizards and frogs; fish-eating bats, and perhaps most famously, the blood-sucking vampire bats of South America. While some bat populations number in the millions, others are dangerously low or in decline.
